You are going to take our practice from yesterday and extend it to Miller’s actual play today to complete your chart. You may work with a partner to complete this. I only need one sheet per partnership to be submitted (both names on paper). Use your text to find meaningful examples of our major genre conventions (remember, lighting and costumes can be under set design or stage directions, depending on how they are used in the play). Complete the chart (both sides). Be sure to use the example provided at the top of the Props row as a model for your work. This sample is on the next slides as well for illustration.

Next, follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the theme statement development sheet. You may work with a partner to complete this. I only need one sheet per partnership to be submitted (both names on paper).
